i can't buy into the toothbrush thing, is there evidence _in the text_ for this?

I remember ppl here speculating Peemulis poisoned it, which would fit the parallels to Ulysses, with Mulligan poisoning Stephen at the very end of Oxen. flip to the page, it's there

This blog post though picks up on the "It’s too late because someone got there first and took the anti-Entertainment cartridge (126) embedded in JOI’s head (31)." which is interesting, since I've talked to exactly no one who has picked this up. BUT: Remember JOI microwaved his head, that's why it's too late, and makes me wonder why they'd even go looking for it. Hal knows how his dad killed himself.

I'm okay with meeting at the MFA cafe or bringing booze and hanging out on the bleachers/dock behind the ICA, which may end up happening anyway, it's right there.

I really don't think it was a character assassination piece, if anything I felt it was rather sympathetic. Warren writes "The Boss" as someone capable, intelligent, and compassionate but over-reaching and flawed. As to your second question I think it's answered in the novel quite well by the description of the highway - it's shiny and too clean and straight and if a car crashed there is still gonna be some form of indentured servant around to witness it.

Gately is the AA vector. Marathe loves his wife :^).

Anyway, we can all agree Pemulis was the only interesting & funny character.

I hate that Career Move pronounced it 'Peemulis'. Disgusting.

Why do you like it? Pemulis is barely in it. DFW even said himself it's pronounced Peem-you-lis. Hence his nickname Peemster. Which is fucking retarded. He ruined the only interesting person.

Oh shit and the short stories in
>Haunted
Thats where the good shit is. Forget all of his other shit. And skip the in-between parts of Haunted.

Shit son. There's actually some good horror in that book.
